Excessive noise, pulsation and inefficiency affecting your machinery?

The solution: the Elika helical gear pump:
Elika low noise, high efficiency gear pump
Elika low noise, high efficiency gear pump
» Does your machinery generate excessive noise?

» Are you experiencing hydraulic pulsation issues?

» Looking for ways to boost efficiency within your hydraulic systems?


These common challenges can lead to more significant problems down the road if left unchecked:

Excessive vibration can accelerate the wear and tear of equipment.

Loud machinery contributes to unsafe working environments and can degrade plant conditions.

Vibration and inefficiency can cause your equipment to consume more energy, leading to higher operational costs and even affecting the quality of your final products.


If these issues sound familiar, you're not alone. Many operators in industrial environments face these problems with traditional hydraulic pumps. But there is a solution that can address these challenges effectively: the Elika helical gear pump.

Problems with Standard Gear Pumps

Traditional external gear pumps are widely used, but they come with their share of limitations that can lead to operational headaches. Below are some of the common problems they cause:

Noise Pollution:
Traditional gear pumps are often extremely loud, generating noise that can be disruptive in any industrial setting. Continuous noise not only harms the workplace environment but also contributes to hearing issues over time and makes communication difficult within the work place.

Hydraulic Pulsation:
One of the significant issues with older pump designs is the pulsation effect they create. Pulsation can lead to vibrations that can spread through the machinery, negatively affecting other connected components. These vibrations can lead to accelerated  component wear, resulting in frequent repairs and costly maintenance.

Energy Inefficiency:
Traditional gear pumps are not as energy-efficient as they could be. The reduced efficiency can result in an increased power requirement which will lead to potentially higher energy bills.
Addressing these challenges requires a new approach that not only solves the noise and pulsation problems but also improves the overall efficiency of your hydraulic systems.
That’s where the Elika helical gear pump excels.

The Solution, the Elika® Helical Gear Pump

The Elika gear pump has been developed in close collaboration between Marzocchi Pompe Srl. and the Faculty of Engineering at the University of Bologna. Its design focuses on reducing noise, hydraulic pulsation, and inefficiency whilst maintaining superior performance under a variety of conditions.

Here’s why the Elika pump is an innovative solution for your machinery:

Low-Noise Operation:
The Elika gear pump is specifically designed to be quiet. In fact, it reduces noise emissions by an average of 15 dBA compared to conventional external gear pumps.

Noise comparison between:
standard external gear pump,
dual flank gear pump,
vane pump,
internal gear pump
and lowest of all the ELIKA helical gear pump
all at 200 bar pressure.

Noise reduction of this magnitude transforms noisy work environments into quieter, safer, and more productive spaces. This is particularly beneficial for industries where noise control is critical, such as medical equipment or energy sectors.

Reduced Pulsation and Vibration:
The pump’s helical gear design features a unique tooth profile which minimizes hydraulic pulsation. This design significantly reduces pressure oscillations, leading to less vibration. By minimsing pressure oscillations the Elika pump not only extends the life of your machinery but also enhances overall system reliability and performance.

The low pulsation reduces vibration in systems.
This results in less required investment in additional damping components.

Improved Efficiency at Low Speeds:
The Elika pump excels at maintaining high levels of efficiency, even at low operating speeds. This makes it ideal for applications that require low-speed operation, such as machinery that uses inverters or variable-speed drives. The pump’s high volumetric efficiency gets the most out of your hydraulic system, helping you cut down on energy consumption and reduce operational costs.
